Is the temperature of the planets in our solar system rising?

Question

We all know that data shows that the earth's temperature is currently rising, but is there any detailed and trusted data on what has been happening to the temperature of the other planets in our solar system, and the associated moons, etc?

Answer 1

Nice question! I never thought of this before.

However, the temperature of the Earth is rising by relatively small amounts (although havnig a huge impact).

We dont know the temperature of the other planets in the solar system withing a tight enough range to determine this.

If we were to measure a temperature change of 1 to 5 degrees then we would need to accurately know the temperature of these planets within, I would say, one degree...and also know the natural weather cycles on these planets.

Answer 2

Are other solar system planet temperatures really rising at the same time as Earth's? Looks like a typical rhetorical question posed by global-warming-non-believers. There are warming patterns seen with Mars (the only other planet whose temperature changes have been estimated over the decades), but does this mean that the addiction to fossil fuels and the western (mostly American) life style and increasing Asian appetites are not speeding up global warming? Per the questioner's views, Al Gore is clearly a G/W extremist and his documentary is full of half-truths and should only be taken with huge pinches of salt. Ask if those predictions are exaggerated to countries like Sweden in Europe which depend on winter tourism, Maldives which will be submerged in water soon, Saharan Africa and recently Asia / Australia which are facing huge water calamities due to abnormal rain patterns etc who know firsthand how global warming has been affecting hundreds of millions of people over the past 5 years. Is sitting comfortably in America and turning a blind eye to changing weather patterns in this country itself a solution to obvious issues? Anyway, ride the hummers and 10 mpg vehicles while you can, American politicians will react only when the pain starts here too.

Answer 3

There is a lot of direct evidence that the polar ice caps of Mars have shrunk considerable in the last few years. It's a bit more difficult to 'measure' other planets such as Jupiter or Venus so the jury is still out (although it kinda looks as if their mean temperature may have gone up some.)
The real reasonfor the current warming trend on Earth simply isn't known, no matter -what- Al ('I invented the Internet') Gore and his pack of sycophants claim. There's plenty of geological evidence that the Earth has been many degrees warmer (as well as colder) several times over the last couple million years than it is right now.

Answer 4

I don't know for sure, but as the sun dictates the temperature of our solar system, then its possible that science has the answer to your question. If the sun cycle is at high at the moment, then its logical that all the other planets close to it would warm up, after all the nearer you stand to a fire the hotter it is. whether the temperature of the other planets is relevant I'm not sure, but i guess it would answer once and for all as to whether man is responsible for global warming, or whether its just the way of our solar system.

Answer 5

People that are comparing temperatures down to a few degrees have a lot of proving to do about their measurements. Thermometry is a most difficult technology and folks that say the ocean temperature has changed something like 3 degrees in 30 years have absolutely no possible way of having directly measured that value.

Answer 6

There are some data suggesting that Mars' temperature is rising too, but I don't think it's "detailed and trusted" yet.

Answer 7

well It matters in what you scientifically believe in, if you believe in global warming than no. But If you are like me a hybrid believe of both global warming and sun fuel progression than yes the other planets temperature is rising.

Answer 8

I heard there was something like that going on, but it's on the low down because Toyota gotta eat.

Answer 9

temp of earth is rising for sure

Answer 10

No it's not caused by the sun, most of global warming is caused by humans.
